bail common

Read a random definition: emphyteutic

A quick definition of bail common:

Bail common is when someone gives money or a promise to come back to court in exchange for being released from jail. It's like a security deposit to make sure they show up for their trial. Sometimes, a person can also be released without having to give any money or promise, but just by promising to come back to court on their own. Bail can be set at different amounts depending on the seriousness of the crime and the risk of the person not showing up for their trial. If someone doesn't show up for their trial, they can lose the money they gave for bail and may be arrested again.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Bail common refers to a type of fictitious surety filed by a defendant in a minor civil action. It is also known as common bail or straw bail.

Examples: In the past, defendants in minor civil cases would offer John Doe and Richard Roe as their bail common. This was done when the damage expressed in the case was of a trifling amount or when the defendant voluntarily appeared to the process. The bail common was a fictitious surety and did not involve any actual payment of money.

Explanation: Bail common was a way for defendants in minor civil cases to avoid paying actual bail. It was a fictitious surety that did not involve any actual payment of money. The use of John Doe and Richard Roe as bail common was common practice in the past. This type of bail was only used in cases where the damage expressed in the case was of a trifling amount or when the defendant voluntarily appeared to the process.
